To all 'whom it may concern.-

'Be it known that I, ALBERT PIINGALLS, of Shelbyville, in the county ofShelby and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Plow; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription thereof, which will enable` others skilled in the art tomake and use the same, reference being 'had to the accompanyingdrawings, forming part of this speeitication, in whichl Figure lrepresents a perspective view of my improved plow7 showing the pointdetached. Fig. 2 is a detail vertical transverse section ot' the same,taken on the plane of 'the line x x, Fig. l.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention relates to a new plow, Which is light, ot' a simpleconstruction, and easily repaired; and it consists, rst, in theapplicalf tion ot a supporting-frame cast or made of one piece;and,seco'nd, of a removable plow-point, which is fitted upon` the endot' the frame and provided by being bent with a socket for the receptionot` said end.

A in the drawings represents the plow-beam. B is the frame, C theshare,l and D the point.

The beam A is made of wood or suitable material, ot' suitable form.

The frame B consists of a hoiizontal lower bar, a, from the ends ofwhichtwo uprights, b and c, project upward.

The front upright, I), is rounded, and has a beveled edge to receive theplowshare, while the rear upright, c, is straightor of othersuitableforni. The upperends of the uprights b c have tenons that are ttedthrough thepllowbeam or are otherwise so constructed as to be readilylastened.4 The frame is east of .one piece of cast o r malleable iron orother metal, and supports not only theplowshare C, which is riveted tothe beveled edge of the frontpost, b, but also to the landside-plate d.,which is fastened to the lower bar, a, hy means of rivets or otherwise.

The landside may, it' desired, bemade to form part of the frame insteadot' being fastened thereto.. The plowshare is made Without a point, andthe front end ofthe frame projects beyond it, as shown,

The plow-point D is bent downward'on the landside and then in and up toform a socket, e, forithe point ofthe l'rame to tit into. The plow-pointis 'thus easily removable from the frame and can be replaced when worn.

Having th usdescrihed my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent- The combination of the angular frame B, curved at thefront and forming a wedge-point, landsideplate d, share C, beam A, andsocketpointJ D, all constructed substantially as shown and described.
